How we get things done
Theory – driven evaluations
The DE–Group has a bias for the theory – driven evaluation approach which is a shift from the traditional evaluation approaches.
Utilisation – focused evaluations
The DE–Group deeply cares about evaluation use. In a participatory manner, we work with the intended evaluation users to achieve their buy-in throughout the evaluation process and ultimately the evaluation findings.
Environmental sustainability and climate change
In the context of climate change adaptation, the DE–Group is using evaluation as a tool to support the understanding and prioritization of programme and policy actions to assist decision making.
Learning
Through experience, the DE–Group understands that most, if not all, of the initiatives aimed at transforming people’s lives are implemented in complex cultural, socio-economic and political environments.
